Chapter 65 Thousand Silk Mounds Possessed by Demons
Liu Fusi did all this just to pass the imperial examination. He devoured countless scholars, yet he paid no price in the end. Isn't that a sign of God's blindness?
Shao Yanzhe glanced at Xiao Liu. He didn't know what this willow tree spirit was thinking. He seemed simple, but the simpler a person is, the more unpredictable and poignant their actions become.
He originally thought that he obtained the cocoon to threaten Liu Fusi, or that he had discovered some way to deal with Liu Fusi, but he did not expect that he would kill the cocoon directly.
His gaze fell on the crazed Liu Fusi. He had to admit that Liu's actions had really dealt him a heavy blow.
He seemed to be deep in thought.
Just then, Liu Fusi suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Liu, with countless black willow branches stabbing towards his body.
Judging from his posture, I wish I could poke him into a sieve.
"Fu Si, you actually want to kill me?"
While using willow branches to defend herself, Xiao Liu stared at Liu Fusi with an incredulous expression, seemingly never expecting him to attack her.
Liu Fusi glared at him resentfully: "You deserve to die! You knew perfectly well what that thing meant to me, why did you do it?"
Xiaoliu replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's to stop you from taking the imperial examination!"
"What does my participation in the imperial examination have to do with you!"
Liu Fusi became increasingly frantic, his eyes bulging outwards, with thin red blood vessels appearing on his pupils, making him look extremely terrifying.
But Xiao Liu wasn't afraid. He replied, "Because you said you would never take the imperial examinations again and that you would stay with me from now on. You can't go back on your word."
Looking at Xiao Liu's appearance, Liu Fusi truly regretted it.
Why didn't he just kill him back then?
"Hahaha! Very good!"
"Since you want to stop me from taking the imperial examination, then you might as well die!"
Liu Fusi unleashed a torrent of resentment that spread outwards, and the willow branches, carrying this resentment, wantonly destroyed everything around them.
Xiao Liu controlled the willow branches to keep the others out, so Shao Yanzhe and his group were temporarily safe.
"What do we do next? It seems Mr. Liu won't let this go easily," Zhou Jiming whispered to Shao Yanzhe.
Shao Yanzhe stroked the black Xie Zhi seal at his waist, restoring his literary energy. He heard Zhou Jiming's question and said, "Wait a minute, let's see how things go."
He was also thinking about this problem. Liu Fusi was clearly in a state of mental confusion, and it was impossible to predict what such a person would do.
He looked at Xiao Liu, and judging from his current attitude, he had no intention of killing Liu Fusi.
Liu Fusi was filled with overwhelming resentment. He roared wildly and recklessly. After seeing the black willow tree, he flashed and appeared in front of it. Then, he resolutely took a step forward and disappeared into the black trunk.
"Fu Si! No!" Xiao Liu's expression finally changed when he saw Liu Fu Si's actions. He wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
After Liu Fusi merged with the black willow tree, the black willow tree, which had been standing quietly, began to tremble violently.
The cocoon hanging from the willow branch swayed slightly, as if something inside was struggling.
"Be careful! Fusi has been possessed by a demon!" Xiao Liu warned them solemnly, staring intently at the black willow tree.
Shao Yanzhe was taken aback. He had never encountered this before and did not know what it meant to become a demon.
However, judging from Xiaoliu's appearance, it's clear that becoming a demon is not a good thing, and it's quite troublesome.
"What's going on?" he asked.
Xiao Liu said, "Becoming a demon means that he has lost his reason, abandoned his humanity, and become cold-blooded and ruthless, only knowing how to kill."
Then, he said somewhat dejectedly, "I never thought that Fu Si would rather become a demon than stay with me."
"Is there any way to stop him?" Shao Yanzhe asked, pretending not to hear the last sentence.
Xiaoliu perked up and said, "This is all up to you."
"What do I need to do?" Shao Yanzhe asked without hesitation.
Given the current situation, if he hesitates, he might really die here.
"Do you see the eyes on the trunk of that willow tree?" Little Willow asked.
Shao Yanzhe looked over, his eyes narrowed, and soon he saw a human eye slowly appearing on the willow tree trunk.
"I saw it."
“That is Fu Si’s weakness. You only need to use your literary energy to destroy that eye to kill him.”
"But that might be difficult."
It wasn't that Shao Yanzhe was making excuses, but rather that the tree trunk was nestled among the willow branches, well protected by them, making it impossible for him to break through the branches to destroy the eye.
"It's okay, I'll help you," Xiaoliu said confidently.
"Okay!" Shao Yanzhe nodded.
Zhou Jiming, standing to the side, spoke up to stop him: "Brother Shao, are you really going? That's simply impossible!"
He looked at the ominous black willow tree and could clearly see the cocoons hanging on the black branches slowly cracking open, with no idea what would appear inside.
Even if nothing appears, those black willow branches are not something an ordinary person like Shao Yanzhe can resist.
If Xiao Liu were to accidentally fail to block the willow branches, he would likely be in danger.
"That's too dangerous! We'd better find a way to get out of here as soon as possible."
"That's right, that's something we simply can't handle."
"Brother Shao, don't be stubborn. Let's leave here first!"
Zhou Jiming and the others looked worried as they tried to persuade Shao Yanzhe.
Xiaoliu shattered their plans: "You're overthinking it. As long as Fusi is alive, no one can leave here. There's only one way out now, and that's to kill him."
Zhou Jiming stared at him suspiciously and said, "You didn't want to kill him before, so why have you changed your mind now? Didn't you want Mr. Liu to stay with you forever?"
Xiao Liu sighed and said, "I don't want to kill Fu Si either, but he's no longer human and has no reason left. It's better to let him rest in peace."
Zhou Jiming opened his mouth as if to say something, but Shao Yanzhe stopped him with a gesture.
"Alright, Brother Zhou, you don't need to say anything more. Since there's no other way, we can only listen to Xiao Liu's suggestion and destroy that eye."
Seeing this, Zhou Jiming had no choice but to agree, glancing at Xiao Liu with a warning in his eyes.
Xiao Liu pretended not to see it and said to Shao Yanzhe, "I'll control the willow tree to temporarily restrain him and buy you a chance. You have to be quick!"
Shao Yanzhe nodded: "No problem!"
Xiao Liu immediately manipulated the willow tree behind her to pull out its roots and headed towards the black willow tree.
Two willow trees approached each other, their countless branches intertwined.
The sight of green willow branches entwined around the cocoons hanging from the black willow branches stunned Shao Yanzhe.
This scene was extremely similar to the scene he saw when he entered that space.
"Now's the time, do it!" Xiaoliu said.
Shao Yanzhe immediately snapped out of his daze, took the jade hairpin pen in his hand, and walked toward the black willow tree trunk.
Xiao Liu wove a safe path for him with willow branches, and he walked along without being attacked by the black willow branches.
He didn't get too close, stopping about three meters away from the tree trunk.
His body was filled with literary energy, which had already been restored and gathered at the tip of the jade hairpin brush. More and more literary energy gathered and condensed, forming a huge white sphere.
Golden particles flickered within the white-glowing sphere, and a fleeting look of greed crossed Xiaoliu's eyes upon seeing it.
Seeing that Shao Yanzhe was still hesitant to act, he urged him impatiently, "Hurry up and do it! I can't hold on much longer!"
Shao Yanzhe seemed not to hear him and continued to output his spiritual energy, making the white sphere grow larger and larger.
The surrounding black resentment was repelled by the white sphere, and the originally dim environment became bright.
Xiaoliu said, "That's enough! Get started!"
He urged him again.
Shao Yanzhe said, "No rush, hold on a little longer, I need to destroy that eye with one blow."
He gave a perfunctory reply, and then the tip of the jade hairpin pen in his hand moved slightly, and the writing on it slowly changed, transforming into characters that the people here couldn't understand, characters that belonged to his previous life.
The words were arranged in a specific order, and as they slowly came together to form an article, his hands trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He knew that this alone was his limit.
He stopped, and with a flick of the tip of his jade hairpin pen, the literary characters leaped toward the willow trunk.
Seeing this, Xiaoliu smiled.
Seeing his smile, Zhou Jiming felt a strange sense of unease.
Finally, the literary words collided with the tree trunk.
Xiaoliu's smile widened, the innocence in her eyes vanished, replaced by endless malice.
"Hahaha! I did it!"
Seeing his behavior, Zhou Jiming and his group thought to themselves, "Oh no!" They hadn't expected that this willow tree spirit was also a bad one.
They looked anxiously at Shao Yanzhe, only to see the dazzling white light suddenly expand. The white light, which had only been engulfing the black willow tree, instantly swelled up and enveloped both trees.
Xiaoliu's malicious gaze froze, her smile vanished, and she stared in disbelief at the scene before her.
"No!"
He only had time to utter those words before his body began to slowly become transparent, and then he disappeared completely.
Everyone felt a flash of white light before their eyes, and they involuntarily closed their eyes, but all they could see was white.
Shao Yanzhe also closed his eyes. His hand holding the jade hairpin pen trembled slightly, and he felt somewhat exhausted.
In the white expanse, he vaguely saw countless people whose faces he couldn't make out standing in front of him. One by one, they walked over, thanked him, and then left into the distance.
At this moment, he vaguely sensed that his previously empty body was slowly gathering literary energy, as if something had been added to it.
